Binary File Reader to a Chart

[bh3560]

Hello All,

Newbie having some trouble with reading a chart from a binary file. My problem may be with trying to use a binary file, I am not sure. The x axis time is not the same length as the actual test time. I have acquired a rms voltage from a VCR RF envelope. I'm using a 6009 DAQ with LV 7.1 on Win2K. I have attached the recording vi and the reading vi and a sample file.  I have tried different things including the examples that came with lab view. I need to write a small sized file because this test will last for 4 hours. I have another application that will run for 5 days.  I appreciate any help or ideas.

Thanks,

bh3560

Hi,

The program you have attached acquires, saves and reads data  in ASCII ( floating numbers) and not binary.

To get an idea on how to write and read data in binary format, look at attached examples( taken from examples shipped with labview)

Hope this helps
